And this video is part two of how we completely did NOT decide on the players who should appear in our list. Please note that no footballers were harmed in the making of this video. (And, *sigh*... obviously, this is a fictional story.) Of particular interest, Spurs fans might want to check out how one of their attacking midfielders uses our player liaison officer, while Leicester City star Jamie Vardy gets a mention too.

FourFourTwo’s Best 100 Football Players in the World 2016
featureThu, 08 Dec 2016 12:54:20 +0000Gregor MacGregor660985 at http://www.fourfourtwo.comThe Best Footballers in the World… in 1966. Who comes top?Had FourFourTwo been around (presumably under a different name) 50 years ago, who would have been in the FFT100? FFTs launch editor Paul Simpson wonders...Paul Simpsonhttp://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/best-footballers-world-1966-who-comes-top
Trying to decide the 100 best players of 1966 isn’t easy. There was no South American equivalent of the Ballon d’Or and many countries (Argentina, Brazil, Italy and Portugal, to name but four) didn’t select footballers of the year. That said, after poring over the events of an historic 12 months, certain players stand out.
In the lower reaches of this retrospective 100, you would find the usual blend of promising youngsters and fading veterans. The great Ferenc Puskas, who hung up his boots at the age of 39, might have featured on sentimental grounds. The magical, alcoholic Garrincha bowed out for Brazil against Hungary – his 60th cap and his first defeat with the Selecao. The only upside of that loss for Brazil was that a 19-year-old Cruzeiro midfielder namdTostao, who would entrance millions in the ‘beautiful team’ of 1970, scored their consolation goal.
Another 19-year old to make his mark was lanky midfielder Johan Cruyff, whose 16 goals powered Ajax to the Dutch title. Cruyff was not an entirely unknown quantity – he was on the scoresheet as Ajax overwhelmed Bill Shankly’s Liverpool 5-1 in a foggy European Cup match in December – but, outside Germany, few had heard of 20-year-old Gerd Muller, a short, ungainly but nifty centre-forward whose goalscoring instincts seemed truly clairvoyant.
Muller was prolific enough, in his first Bundesliga season with Bayern Munich, to earn a call-up to the Mannschaft, although he didn’t make the final 22. Eight years later, his goal in Munich would crush Cruyff’s hopes of winning the World Cup.
There are countless players above the lower reaches but below the top ten, which means it's probably best to group them by trade: defenders (including goalkeepers), midfielders and forwards (wingers and strikers).
NEXT Which keepers and defenders get the nod?The boys at the back
Gordon Banks’s idol Lev Yashin could still turn it on in goal, as he showed with a stupendous save against Hungary in the World Cup quarter-finals. Ladislao Mazurkiewicz – Mazurka to teammates – was already showing the quality for Uruguay and Penarol, who won the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup (against Real Madrid), that would prompt Yashin to anoint him as his successor.
The changing nature of the defender’s role was reflected in the World Cup. While England’s Jack Charlton and West Germany’s Willie Schulz epitomised the best of the old-school destroyer, Russia’s captain Valery Voronin was a stopper who, with the intelligence and technique to play on either flank, pointed towards a more creative future.
One pioneer of the new style was Velibor Vasovic who, as centre-back in the Partisan Belgrade that reached the 1966 European Cup final, impressed Ajax’s coach Rinus Michels with his willingness to turn defence into attack. Vasovic, who gave Partisan a shock lead against Real Madrid, would later help Michels perfect Total Football.
A decade after they had been pioneered by Hungary and Brazil, attacking full-backs were still in vogue. Giacinto Facchetti raided forwarded as an auxiliary attacker in Inter and Italy’s catenaccio system, and the ability of England’s full-backs George Cohen and Ray Wilson to make overlapping runs helped persuade Alf Ramsey that he could ease wingers out of his side.
The men in the middle
In midfield, intensity was beginning to be as influential as natural talent, and 1966 produced its share of tireless heroes. The tragicomic vicissitudes of Alan Ball’s managerial career have obscured his qualities as a player; a master of the short game, always available to collect a pass out of defence and find a team-mate, Ball was good enough to break the British transfer record in 1966, when Everton paid £110,000 for him.
As good as Ball was, Real Madrid’s Pirri was arguably better. Though he – and Spain – disappointed at the World Cup, he was the coach on the pitch in the Real Madrid side that won its sixth European Cup in May. A former centre-forward, inside-forward and right-half, Pirri was the ideal central midfielder: energetic, brave, intelligent, good in the air and exceptional on the ball.
Yet 1966 was also blessed with its fair share of artists. Uruguay and Penarol playmaker Pedro Rocha was so gifted he could do whatever he wanted with the ball. And let’s not forget Antonio Rattin, captain of Argentina and Boca, whose red card against England – for nothing at all or consistent dissent, depending on your politics – has overshadowed the fact that he was described thusly by Bobby Moore: “Powerful, fine skill, good appreciation of what was going on around him. Knew the game inside out.”
In 1966, apart from a few Italian film directors like Pier Paolo Pasolini, there were no football hipsters as such. Yet in retrospect, the hipster’s idol would probably have been Andriy Biba, Soviet player of the year in 1966. Biba fulfilled the Bobby Charlton role as an advanced attacking midfielder in Victor Maslow's Dynamo Kyiv side, who may well have invented the 4-4-2 formation.
NEXT Which wingers get picked?The wide boys
Although England’s World Cup winners were hailed as ‘Wingless Wonders’, 1966 was actually a kind of golden age for wizards on the wing.
Real Madrid’s European Cup winners had Paco Gento on the left (still effective as he turned 33) opposite Amancio,who was so tricky on the right he would, if playing today, inevitably be nicknamed Harry Potter. In Italy, Mario Corso, aka ‘God’s left foot’, defied critics who accused him of “hiding in the grass” and was instrumental as Helenio Herrera’s Inter won their third scudetto in four years.
And in Britain, wingers flourished. 19-year-old George Best was dubbed ‘O Quinto Beatle’ by the Portuguese media after scoring twice in the European Cup against Benfica in March. In Scotland, Jimmy Johnstone’s ability to jink through defences had won Celtic’s first Scottish title in 12 years. By the end of 1966, the future Lisbon Lions had cruised into the last eight of the European Cup.
The forwards
Up front, even in an off-year when he was quite literally kicked out of the World Cup and Santos underperformed, Pele remained one of the world’s best forwards. Geoff Hurst came joint-14th in the Ballon d’Or voting, scant reward for becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in a World Cup final (a feat unmatched in the subsequent half-century). Even more remarkably, he wasn’t in the tournament’s all-star XI, losing out to West Germany’s Uwe Seeler,who had returned to form after tearing an Achilles tendon a year earlier.
On as many Ballon d’Or points as Hurst was Georgi Asparuhov, reductively tagged ‘The Bulgarian George Best’ because he was talented, good looking and drove an Alfa Romeo. A skilful inside-forward or centre-forward, Asparuhov scored Bulgaria’s only goal at the World Cup and, the year before, had inspired Levski Sofia to victory against Benfica.
Other strikers in contention would include: Jose Torres, who, despite playing alongside Eusebio for club and country, was one of the most effective centre-forwards in the game; Nantes’ hero Philippe Gondet, Europe’s most prolific league scorer in 1966 with 36 goals in 37 matches; and Belgian idol Paul van Himst – tracked by Barcelona and Real Madrid as the top scorer in an Anderlecht side in the midst of a record-breaking streak of five successive league titles.
All these players would have deserved their places in the upper reaches of FFT’s Best 100 Players of 1966. But who would make the Top 10?
NEXT The final selection10. Silvio Marzolini (Boca Juniors and Argentina)
The only South American in the World Cup all-star team, Silvio Marzolini is arguably the best Argentinian left-back of all-time. At 26, he looked elegant even when he was tackling and loved to run with the ball – he rarely overran it either, instinctively sensing when the right pass was on. In 1966, he was slightly better than Inter and Italy legend Giacinto Facchetti and might be more highly rated if he hadn’t rejected lucrative offers to stay at his beloved Boca Juniors.
9. Helmut Haller (Bologna and West Germany)
Bologna’s Helmut Haller had moved to Serie A before the introduction of the Bundesliga and its consequent economic miracle for previously impoverished German players. He scored six during the World Cup, including the opening goal in the final. Effective, combative and histrionic when tackled, Haller inspired some to say that he’d learned to play football at Bologna and done the rest of his training at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts.
8. Ferenc Bene (Ujpesti Dozsa and Hungary)
Bene is now largely forgotten outside Hungary but he was a brilliant individualist, versatile enough to play anywhere up front. He scored four goals at the World Cup, and during Hungary’s 3-1 victory against Brazil (champions of 1958 and 1962) he and Florian Albert played some of the finest head tennis in the history of the game.
7. Gordon Banks (Leicester City and England)
As deserving of a place in the top 10 is Gordon Banks, whose nickname ‘Banks of England’ is a poignant reminder of an age when we implicitly trusted the banking system – and English goalkeepers. Banks’ impressive form at the 1966 World Cup is all the more remarkable considering the fact he'd missed the first nine games of the season after breaking his wrist while diving at a Northampton player’s feet during a friendly.
6. Mario Coluna (Benfica and Portugal)
Portugal captain Mario Colunagwas only 13th in the voting for the Ballon d’Or. Yet, blessed with enormous strategic intelligence, Coluna was as influential, at inside-left and left-half, for Portugal and Benfica as his fellow Mozambican, Eusebio.
5. Florian Albert (Ferencvaros and Hungary)
Hungarian centre-forward Florian Albert was blessed – or cursed – with exceptional game intelligence, as he never tired of telling his coaches. Deadly in the air and lethal on the ground, he won a standing ovation at Goodison Park for a dazzling performance in Hungary’s 3-1 win over Brazil. Selected as a striker in the World Cup all-star team, Albert was also joint-top scorer in the 1965/66 European Cup.
4. Bobby Moore (West Ham United and England)
England’s World Cup-winning captain has been so lionised it’s hard to see the player behind the legend. Yet as astute an observer as Matt Busby marvelled at his game intelligence: “He could see where the game was heading when the ball was 80 yards away – it cannot be explained unless clairvoyance has something to do with it.”
3. Franz Beckenbauer (Bayern Munich and West Germany)
Elegant, adroit and with a composure that belied his age – he was only 20 when he scored his first World Cup goal, against Switzerland – Franz Beckenbauer was voted the best young player of the tournament. Almost as inspired in attack as defence, he single-handedly changed the tactics of German football, establishing a longstanding national preference for a libero - although few were as imperious as the Kaiser.
NEXT Portugal's goal machine vs England's creator-in-chief2. Eusebio (Benfica and Portugal), 1. Bobby Charlton (Manchester United and England)
Who was the world’s best footballer in 1966? The obvious candidates were great rivals and good friends, Bobby Charlton and Eusebio, famed almost as much for their integrity as their conspicuous genius. They shared, too, certain pathos. As a survivor of the Munich air disaster, it was easy to understand why Charlton might look haunted. The source of what Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano called Eusebio’s “sad eyes” remains more of a mystery.
As the creative linchpin of Sir Alf Ramsey’s World Cup winners, Charlton was probably the most influential player in that tournament, even though Eusebio, who scored nine goals as Portugal reached the semi-final, won the Golden Boot.
Neither player was perfect: at his best a player of fearful drive and marksmanship, Charlton sometimes struck passes which awed crowds but didn’t change the game. Eusebio ran in zigzags and scored goals from absurd angles but didn’t really like mixing it. During the 1966 semi-final against England, Portugal skipper Mario Coluna shook his fist angrily at his team-mate who hung back out of harm’s way.
Yet with Pele sidelined by injury, they were the best in the world in 1966: Charlton was voted European Footballer of the Year with 81 points, one ahead of Eusebio, the 1965 winner.
So if FourFourTwo had existed in 1966, its top 100 would almost certainly have started with Charlton, followed by Eusebio.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a forward on fire. Following an amazing 39 goals in 49 games last season, the lightning-quick Gabon star has banged in another 15 in just 12 games so far this campaign.
And travelling to the Borussia Dortmund training ground recently, FourFourTwo caught up with the Bundesliga's leading marksman to ask him about his fantastic form, chasing down Bayern Munich, walking away from AC Milan and much more.
What does the attacker put his improved goalscoring and such a wonderful last season down to? Well, the 27-year-old spearhead told us, speaking exclusivelyin the January 2017 issue ofFourFourTwomagazine, available in shops, on iPhone and iPad now: "We tried something new, because it was Thomas Tuchel's first season as the coach I played centrally always. The whole team had a great year - one I enjoyed a lot. It is easy to score goals when you have got so many great players around you."

featureWed, 07 Dec 2016 16:28:36 +0000Gregor MacGregor660537 at http://www.fourfourtwo.comBoateng: Ancelotti is calmer than GuardiolaJerome Boateng has told FourFourTwoabout the differences in management style between Carlo Ancelotti and former Bayern Munich head coach Pep Guardiola.http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/boateng-ancelotti-calmer-guardiola
Since his transfer to Bayern Munich in 2011, Jerome Boateng has been a mainstray at the Bavarian outfit that has won four Bundesligas and a Champions League title, playing under Jupp Heynckes and Pep Guardiola, and since the summer, Carlo Ancelotti. (In fact, last week we named the monster of a centre-back asthe best defender in the worldin our Best 100 Players in the World for 2016.)
However, Bayern's start to this season has been far from impeccable, as Boateng acknowledges while discussing the challenges of transitioning between coaches.
Speaking exclusively in the January 2017 issue of FourFourTwo magazine, available in shops, on iPhone and iPad now, he says: "It's part of life that when a new coach comes in, things can't be 100 per cent from the beginning. It takes some time. Bayern fans want to see us win, play well, score goals and not concede many."

Jerome discusses team-mate Manuel Neuer with FFT.
Boateng went on to describe the tactical changes and the differences in management styles. While Guardiola is renowned for his animated touchline antics, Ancelotti regularly presents an image of calmness and composure.
"Ancelotti is a bit older and calmer during matches than Guardiola," he says. "Maybe he's a bit more relaxed, too. Tactically, I don't think we have to press as much in games. Sometimes, we say, 'OK, you can have the ball.'
"That means we can drop deeper, creating space we can counter-attack into. That's the big change to our old mentality."

I had my phone turned off!Hal Robson-Kanu has told FourFourTwo how he could have moved to Spain, Russia or America in the summer.http://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/robson-kanu-did-simeone-try-sign-me-i-had-my-phone-turned
The Acton-born Wales international headed into the 2016 European Championship in France without a club after ending his 12-year association with Reading.
But the gamble paid off for the 27-year-old, who netted the winning goal against Slovakia before firing in a 2016 Puskas Award contender in the famous quarter-final upset over Belgium, flummoxing three Red Devils defenders in the process.
Robson-Kanu still had to wait until transfer deadline day to finally find a new club, penning a deal with West Bromwich Albion, but he admits interest in his services over the summer came from far and wide.
Speaking exclusively in the January 2017 issue of FourFourTwo magazine, he says: “There were quite a lot of negotiations that took place and there were a number of opportunities for me abroad in Spain, Asia, Russia and America. But I had told my agent that I would love to play in the Premier League, so a lot of the interest from other countries got pushed aside. I had a desire to play in the top league in the world.”
Champions League finalists Atletico Madrid were one of the Spanish clubs believed to be keen on the former Southend United and Swindon Town loanee, but he tells FFT that he wouldn’t have known if the Rojiblancos’ gaffer Diego Simeone had tried to lure him to the Vicente Calderon, as he had his phone switched off.
“I had my phone turned off because it was going mad –I was getting calls left, right and centre – so even if he had called me, I’d have missed it!” he says. “Atletico are a massive football club, but my ambition was to play in the Premier League.”
The Baggies eventually bagged Robson-Kanu’s signature, although his league appearances for Tony Pulis’ side have so far been limited to nine outings off the substitutes’ bench.
“It’s a great club with a good manager who knows the league,” he says. “I’ve been working hard in training, but I started the season quite late when I arrived, and it’s always difficult when that happens. I’m just waiting for my opportunity and looking forward to taking it. It should be every young footballer’s dream to play in the Premier League, and I’m grateful for the chance.”

The former Celtic and Barcelona striker arrived on a short-term deal from Helsingborgs in January 2007 and made an instant impact at Old Trafford.
Larsson netted on his Red Devils debut against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, and added further strikes to help sink Watford in the league and Lille in Europe.
The Swede’s final appearance before returning home came in an FA Cup draw at Middlesbrough, as Alex Ferguson’s men went on to win the league title by six points and reach the first-ever FA Cup final at the new Wembley, losing to Chelsea.
Speaking exclusively in the January 2017 issue of FourFourTwo magazine, Larsson wishes he had stayed longer and collected his Premier League winner’s medal.
“That’s the only regret I have in my career,” he says. “I should have stayed, as it would have meant I got a Premier League winner’s medal, and I would have stayed for one more season. But I still had a contract with Helsingborgs and I feel that when you sign a contract, you have to see it out.
“Everything was professional at Manchester United. When I had to attend a christening for my brother’s children, the club ordered a plane to take me there after a match. United really take care of all their players.”

It says everything about Cristiano Ronaldo’s still-bulletproof confidence that he's described a year in which many have tried to suggest that his imperiousness is waning as “the best of my life.” In fairness, he has all the ammunition one might need as he exits 2016 with a Champions League, a European Championship with Portugal and a new five-year contract at Real Madrid all safely stashed at Casa Ronnie.
The rate at which records continue to fall at his feet is remarkable. This year he arrived at a total of 500 goals in club football, and matched Gerd Müller and Robbie Keane’s 68-goal hauls in the international game with a brace in Portugal’s November defeat of Latvia.
Yet there’s no denying Ronaldo is visibly ageing - and changing. That's been the case for a while now, with his body perhaps finally paying the price for the relentless, punishing workload he's put it through for over a decade. Portugal collectively held its breath on the eve of Euro 2016 as doubts over his fitness bobbed to the surface in spring (Ronaldo missed the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Manchester City), bringing back bad memories of the World Cup two years before - which he admitted in his documentary film, Ronaldo, that he shouldn’t have played in.
International glory
Even amid the joy of Madrid’s win in Milan, which he sealed with the winning kick in the penalty shoot-out – tearing his shirt off in celebration as he had done when setting the seal on the 2014 final win over Atletico in Lisbon – there was cause for concern. He was a pale imitation of himself for most of the game, a passenger. One was justified in wondering what sort of state he would arrive at the Euros in.
Brazil had been agony for Ronaldo and his fans alike, as he fought vainly against nature; this time, in France, there was a happy ending. Much of the credit for that has to go to Fernando Santos, with Portugal’s wily and experienced coach understanding that his captain is not quite the explosive force of years past. Santos moved to a 4-4-2 which required Ronaldo to run less, and crucially gave him the close support of Nani, his fellow Sporting academy graduate.
Still, nobody could have foreseen the high drama of the Saint-Denis final, where he was hobbled by a Dimitri Payet challenge and – after again trying to play through it – was forced from the field in tears. His final role was that of a frantic, unhinged and heavily bandaged touchline coach, roaring Portugal over the line in extra time. It revealed another side to Ronaldo to the world at large, one that his countrymen have been aware of for a very long time; that for all his posturing and scarcely concealed vanity, there are few things that matter more to him that playing for – and winning for – his country. The Euros, as much as the Champions League or the Ballon d’Or, were the realisation of a long-held dream.
Goal machine
The one thing that hasn’t changed this year, of course, is the goals. Ronaldo has continued - remarkably so given the injury obstacles placed in his way - to rattle along at a goal per game for club and country, and it’s easy to see why Florentino Perez has placed such faith in his medium-term future. Portugal’s skipper is more than just a totem for Real’s success.
He’s a guarantee of goals and given his finishing power, his strength, his aerial prowess and – most importantly – his own understanding of how he’s becoming a more penalty box-based player, there’s little to suggest he can’t continue at the top of the game for a while longer yet. Before, Ronaldo wanted to do everything. Now he knows he needs to be served.
As he celebrated his new deal at a packed Palco de Honor in the Bernabeu in November, Ronaldo spoke on his apparent fixation with the Ballon d’Or. “I’m not obsessed with this,” he insisted. “Obviously it’s important but for me, the key to the individual prizes are the collective ones.” In that respect, he couldn’t have done much more this year to cement his legend.

Despite suffering two muscle injuries, losing the Copa America Centenario final with a penalty sent over the bar and announcing his international retirement (before later reconsidering), Lionel Messi has every reason to be happy: his 2016 was the coronation of the modern Messi, the player we'll all enjoy in the years ahead.
Discussions over whether an ageing and slower Messi would become a static centre-forward or a classic No.10 have taken place for the past decade, with opinions divided. But 12 years after making his professional debut for Barcelona, Messi's now unlocked a different 3.0 version of himself.
From a right-wing dribbler (1.0) to a devastating penalty-box scorer (2.0), Messi's now became a strategist, capable of deciding when to score but also when to assist, when to be close to the box and when to enjoy the full-pitch panorama. Since the introduction of Barcelona’s current trident, which includes an out-and-out striker in Luis Suarez, Messi’s involvement in the build-up has been more active than ever before.
All-round attacker
His free-kick technique has improved - witness his stunning strike against the United States - with Messi enjoying his most prolific year from set-pieces.
He's also excelled when it comes to playing through-balls, a skill he's been able to practice regularly at club level thanks to the movement of Suarez and Neymar. It's been a different story at international level, though, with Messi forced to carry Argentina due to underperformance from his attacking team-mates.
“You don’t win in chess with a Queen but no Rooks, or Bishops, or Pawns, or Knights. Argentina doesn’t get it yet,”El Grafico wrote earlier this year. “Messi’s challenge: how to defend the country with a plastic fork and a plastic knife” was the headline chosen by newspaper La Nacion.
National team pain
The disappointment at losing another final with Argentina brought about a change in Messi's appearance, who died his hair blonde and grew a beard. He later admitted that this was a way of him starting over and resetting ahead of the 2016/17 campaign, where he's dragged his country back into contention in World Cup qualifying.
The modern Messi has become a leader, too, as demonstrated by his recent decision to lead his international team-mates in a boycott of the Argentine press.
The 29-year-old will probably end 2016 as Europe's top scorer and leading assist provider, which shows how influential he's been. This is a different Messi now, but that doesn't mean he isn't equally brilliant.

The weak link in MSN they once said. How absurd that take now looks. Luis Suarez has if anything, grown to be possibly the most productive member of the greatest attacking trio ever seen in the game.
There's also the fact he’s become the best striker in the world, with his goalscoring reaching a phenomenal level. Suarez proceeded to register 40 goals in LaLiga last season, and won the much lauded Pichichi Trophy winner awarded the top scorer in the league. The monopoly of the award being passed between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi was over. Not content with that, he landed the European Golden Shoe award too, and like with the Pichichi, became the first player to win the award other than the duo.
An incredible 15 of his goals were scored in the final five games, and Suarez also managed to tie with Messi for the most assists in La Liga. It built incredibly on an impressive debut season for the player, at the club some doubted he could fit in to. Suarez has never looked out of place, and with Messi and Neymar beside him has only improved his game and competed at a higher level. Playing with such great players has clearly raised the game of the Uruguayan, who also shone while in the Premier League with Liverpool.
Suarez’s movement and instincts in attack have been paramount to his success at Barca, and his ability to take up key positions in the penalty area and float dangerously outside it have seen him not only notch goals himself but also open up more opportunities for his partners in crime. Humble, unselfish, hard working - Suarez has become a popular figure at Camp Nou and one whom people now look upon for inspiration in games.
Reliable figure
It's obvious Neymar is still growing, and Messi can’t always do it all on his own. In then, comes Suarez. The 29-year-old rarely disappoints when pressure is put on his shoulders – instead he turns up and gets the job done in expert fashion. There are no histrionics with him. His private life remains quiet, and on the field he lets his goalscoring do the talking. He’s very much an unassuming character in the team that all the world wants to see, but make no mistake he’s also the most deadly.
His finishing has only improved since his Liverpool days. With Suarez now operating at a higher level he realises waste isn’t acceptable. The only blot on his copybook over the past 12 months has been an injury at the end of the domestic season that shattered his Copa America participation. Suarez was in the Uruguay squad for the tournament, but didn’t make it on the field as his beloved nation exited without even a whimper.
Next surely for Suarez is reaching the pinnacle of world football after now breaking into the Ronaldo and Messi monopoly thanks largely due to his goalscoring. No one else is scoring with such aplomb at a high level, and at 29-years-old he is at the very peak of his powers.

English football is full of tales of technically able, but physically lacking, youngsters who fall out of love with the beautiful game after one knockback too many. Yet, Blighty isn’t the only country afflicted by ‘too small-itis'. More than a decade ago, France nearly lost its crown jewel.
By 2005, rejection letters kept falling through Alain Griezmann’s letterbox. Auxerre, Saint-Etienne, Sochaux, even Lyon, the team his 13-year-old son Antoine supported, didn’t want to know. Lyon wasn’t even the one that really hurt, though. Metz reneged on their offer of a trial, again stating Griezmann was too small, without even seeing him play.
Eric Olhats saved everything one day in Paris. The Real Sociedad scout had just returned from a trip to Argentina and only went to a tournament hosted by PSG to see some industry friends at the Camp des Loges training ground. So enchanted was Olhats by the tiny kid wearing a Jamaica t-shirt instead of a Montpellier club tracksuit in one game, he gave the trialist his card and begged him to have his father call. The rest is history.
Major strides
First in San Sebastian, now in the Spanish capital at Diego Simeone’s visceral Atletico Madrid, Griezmann has become a star of worldwide acclaim. Perhaps more than any other player, 2016 has been his year. Yes, he lost the Champions League and Euro 2016 finals (each to a team containing Cristiano Ronaldo), but he was probably the best player in both competitions. He was certainly voted so in his home tournament for France, scoring more goals at a Euros than any other player since Michel Platini in 1984.
This summer was an important one for the 23-year-old. Griezmann has lived in Spain since Olhats first took him to Real Sociedad. He celebrates goals he scores, even for France, in Spanish. He drinks the South American herbal tea maté ever since his Real Sociedad B coach Martin Lasarte introduced him to its restorative powers. France wondered if he was really that bothered. Six goals, player of the tournament and tears at losing to Portugal saw him settle any doubts.
A return of 32 goals in 54 appearances in all competitions for Atletico in 2015/16was equally phenomenal. So is nine in his first 17 this season. When he first arrived at the Vicente Calderon in the summer of 2014 for €30m, Griezmann was nervous at the prospect of replacing the Chelsea-bound Diego Costa; now he’s the go-to player, the shyness definitively gone. The Hotline Bling celebration is testament to that.
Now playing regularly as a centre-forward, Griezmann has added clinical finishing to his game.
“He always knows how to hurt the opposition,” says Atleti boss Simeone. “He puts everything away.”
Premier League on the horizon?
If the rumour mill is to be believed, Chelsea are sniffing around. Manchester City, too. Now representing himself after bidding adieu to his agent a couple of months ago, Griezmann will likely stay at Atletico as long as Simeone does, which is believed to be the end of 2017/18, the club’s first at the new stadium.
For now, though, just enjoy the artistic brilliance of a slight, frail-looking attacker blessed with supreme confidence and ability honed by years of studying YouTube videos and his superiors in training. To be the best, Griezmann knew he had to work, to make up for the physique that nearly denied him a place at football’s top table.
On his forearm, he has the tattoo of a phrase from The Little Prince by eminent French author Antoine De Saint-Exupery. “Fais de ta vie un rêve, et fais de ton rêve une réalité,” it reads, meaning “make your life a dream, and make your dream a reality”
He’s certainly done that. And it all began in one 10-minute cameo in 2005, wearing a Jamaica t-shirt.

There were two main tasks awaiting Neymar upon signing for Barcelona. The first was to create a platform for himself to co-exist with Lionel Messi and the club's other superstars. The other was to prove that he could be the heir to Messi’s throne when the Argentine eventually calls it a day.
It’s safe to say Neymar has accomplished the first and is on track to completing the second, too. His progress over the last 12 months has been superb, with the Brazilian showing the humility to work in tandem with his team-mates but also the ability to lead the line when required. The skills and thrills are still there, but there’s also an essential understanding of his place within the collective.
Improved consistency
Neymar is rarely greedy or selfish; instead he's always willing to lay on a pass for a team-mate and even contribute in the defensive phase of play. The fears that he would do neither have been comprehensively disproven.
Looking back, November 2015 was a key juncture in Neymar’s career at the Camp Nou. It was then that he produced his most scintillating form, which included a stunning goal against Villarreal. At the time, Neymar was probably the best player in the world - for once Messi had taken a back seat. It was unfortunate, then, that he faltered so badly down the final stretch of the season.
WATCH FourFourTwo Films: Neymar - the making of a superstar
Despite that, he still managed 31 goals in all competitions and deservedly secured a spot in the Ballon d’Or top three. His downturn was perhaps a combination of fatigue and pressure catching up with him, or maybe he was saving himself for a busy summer back home.
Olympic gold
After missing out on the Copa America Centenario, Neymar returned to Brazil to compete in the Olympics in August. The Selecao were worthy winners, securing their first ever gold medal in the sport, and the tears that run down their star man's face showed how much it meant to him.
It was Neymar who scored the winning penalty against Germany in the final, with the 24-year-old immediately dropping to his knees as virtually everyone around him went wild. It was an emotional moment and one of the most significant in Neymar's career to date.
Barcelona recently acknowledged his development as a player and a person by tying him down to a whopping new contract which runs until 2021. By then you’d expect him to be the main draw at Camp Nou. The world better be warned that, despite everything Neymar has accomplished so far, there's much more still to come.

There was a point in Gareth Bale’s career when it looked like hisReal Madrid dream was coming to an end. Rumours of discontent among his own team-mates, an inability to integrate into Spanish culture and some generally underwhelming performances on the field were all prevalent features. That's a distant memory now, though, with Bale closing in on doing the unthinkable and becoming the heir to Cristiano Ronaldo’s throne.
The Portuguese still rattles the goals in, but the mesmerising performances of old - littered with mazy runs down the wing - are consigned to video compilations. It’s a good job, then, that Madrid have Bale.
The Welshman has grown in stature over the last year, and it all started with Rafa Benitez's ill-fated reign. Under Carlo Ancelotti, Bale looked to be heading for the exit door - before the Italian was shown it himself. Bale was then taken under the wing of Benitez, who put him on the right path to becoming the golden boy at the club. It was under the Spanish coach that Bale began to fly just like he had in north London, rampaging down the flank and also proving a dynamic force through the middle.
Relentless production
The Welshman has begun to take up more important positions on the field, understanding where he needs to be to cause maximum destruction. Despite the departure of Benitez, there's been no relenting in Bale’s form: under Zinedine Zidane and with Ronaldo in decline, the 26-year-old has come to the fore as a leader. This culminated in his strong Champions League final display, in which he assisted a goal and scored in the penalty shoot-out.
The former Southampton full-back has become a clinical performer, creating chances and also taking them himself. His physical attributes are phenomenal: he provides speed and strength in a league which has seldom seen such a devastating combination of the two.
When Bale wants to control a game, or decide one, then he will. He did it for his country in the summer, too, as Wales produced one of the most memorable performances of any team at Euro 2016.
National icon
Bale led Chris Coleman's side, becoming one of the few superstars who actually delivered in France. In turn Wales grew in strength as the competition went on, fuelled by their star man's heroics; Bale was unselfish and showed character, as well as providing a number of crucial goals that made him the competition's joint-second top scorer.
The rewards haven’t stopped coming for Bale, who recently signed a bumper new deal to cement his status as a key player at Madrid. It’s a world away from the stories of a shy young man failing to adapt to Spanish life. The club is now very much in the palm of Bale's hand and it's only a matter of time before Ronaldo relinquishes his place on the Bernabeu throne.
